Chasm GDC demo is content complete!

There's only been a few bugs found! The biggest by far is a collision one that lets you get stuck in walls under those wooden platforms. I fixed that last night, so it will be going out in the new build today. There was also a little bug where you can use chests and stuff after dying

Besides that just got tons of feedback for tweaks, so still trying to improve things as much as I can!

[Linkshot]

Oh right feedback. Uh, totally not complaining, nope.

Thanks guys, feedback has been amazing. You guys rock, so glad you're digging it

Has anyone actually found a bug? The one and a half times I played through were really polished.

I have found not even one ground-breaking or game-crashing bug. This game is really well programmed, seriously.

I can now chain stabbing Kobolds if I time it really well.

I feel like I have a firm grasp on the game's flow now, though I'd need to try every floor. Only done 1 to 3 so far. I'd enjoy some more "noise" in each style of room, to keep me on my toes when making platform decisions. Out of the rooms I've been in, I can identify the layout of each one fairly quickly at a glance.

Definitely but I figure it will be less of an issue when there's more rooms.

No bugs here and played every updated demo a couple of times. This game is very polished. New sound FX fit nicely and the demo seems to end at a point where you are just begging for more. I hope you reach your Kickstarter goal in the first few days.

Had a lot of fun with the GDC build and was very impressed with the quality of it. Sent a lot of feedback through the google docs tool, but once again great job! Fun and well designed game and you still managed to keep it well polished and mostly bug free.

[James]

Thanks! Everyone did a great job getting us feedback, couldn't be more happy with the response!
